"If I don't go now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Sarin immediately stepped in to stop him, clearly determined not to allow it, but Qiong Xing had expected that from the beginning.
That was precisely why he had turned to Katarina.
"Grandma... please."
"..... Sigh. Fine."
"Katarina!?"
"You stay here and watch over Lian and the others. Come on, let's get moving."
Though she let out a long sigh, Katarina nodded in agreement.
Feeling somewhat pathetic, Qiong Xing allowed her to carry him on her back as she took him toward the castle.
He promised Lian and the others that he would definitely return. Then he entrusted the children to Sarin, whose expression made it clear he was far from convinced.
"You should hurry. If you're too late, even if he is your child... he may have to be killed."
Fenrisúlfr's words made it clear that Cari had to be stopped before he harmed anyone around him.
Please let them make it in time.
Cari was a kind child.
A very, very kind child.
